Weddings are wonderful experiences!! That once in the lifetime opportunity to join hands with our significant other and tie the knot. However, there are often times so many emotions that are flowing on that day. Rejoicing in the heart about the joy to come, sadness of leaving one's father/mother but ready to become one with the one they love the most in the world, overwhelming feelings of worry and anxiety - these often come out as a sign of concern wanting to ensure that the Big Day is the Perfect Day, and a sense of relief that the stress will soon be over and the Newly wedded couple will be on their way to the destination of their honeymoon. As I prepare for a wedding, I can't help but to relate emotionally with the party, as they are getting ready. It can be chaotic and a mess but as a photographer that must not get in the way of capturing those true precious moments: even when things are going well; truth be told it will all work out in the end. 

As I was standing near the groom, Travis, I was anticipating his response to the first sight of his bride this past weekend. One of my favorite parts is when everyone rises to honor the bride and her father. I can't help but to get teary-eyed with a sense of awe when the bride begins her bridal march down the aisle. That is exactly what happened on this day. The bride, Nikki, was gorgeous! It's the moment she's been dreaming of since she was a little girl. Anticipating the moment when she will be with her groom to be, in his arms, and getting lost in each other's eyes. What a wonderful heartfelt moment!

Are you ready for some Fooottbbbbaaaaallllllll!!!

Stillwater Pioneers from Stillwater, Oklahoma kicked off their high school football season with a scrimmage against Norman and Choctaw. All teams performed very well yesterday on the field. We are looking forward to what the new head coach has in store for this season, as the Pioneers sufferred several losses last season but are looking to gain much ground in what's to come this year. We are excited here in the community about the Stillwater Pioneer Athletic program and looking for some wins this time around. I had the opportunity from Ortman Photography in Stillwater Oklahoma to come out and snap a couple of hikes (I mean photographs) of the team in action. Below are some of the superstars that will be leading the team this year, Alex DeMauro #26 and Kilynn Norris #48. If you'd like to see more of images from the scrimmage, click here!

Brotherly love in Tulsa by Ortman Photography

Good afternoon everyone!! Today is a great day for me as I hope it is for you as well. After a quick outpatient operation of having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out, I would say that I'm feeling much better! :) The sun is shining, the weather is hot, but all in all, it couldn't be a better day! 

Wanted to share my most recent shoot at a popular location in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Woodward Park. Woodward Park is a great location as it provides such a diverse background for many settings and often used for Bridal shots and Engagement photos. With the wooded areas, park benches, bridges over a small creek. It doesn't get much better than that at once specific location. 

This particular shoot was of my little sister, Sammie Kaye, for her 20th birthday gift. I mean what a great gift idea, right? Well it was her idea actually; nevertheless, it worked out perfectly for the both of us. She gets to model and have her photo taken while I get to be creative in my own right while capturing those sweet moments. 

Overall, it was a great success while we got to spend the day together, have lunch, and play catch up!! She's a great little sister, I love her very much!! 

Thank you Sammie Kaye for such a great day!!

If you'd like to see more of her photos they are available here!

Blue Family Photos

When shooting on-location there are always certain variables that must be taken into account to make a shoot successful: weather, lighting, wind, mood, and everyone showing up and "wanting" to have their pictures taken. This past week weekend, I had the opportunity to do a shoot with a great family the Blue Family. They arrived on-time, which is always a great perk, with a wonderful attitude and smiles on their faces!! Here in Stillwater, OK the weather was hot but that didn't effect the outcome of the shoot. As they were all champions and endured til the end. Thank you for making it a successful day!!
